Abstract excerpt
A routine electrophoretic method detecting plasma lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is described. Plasma lipoproteins were electrophoresed using an agarose gel film containing cations which retard migration of beta-, prebeta- and alpha-bands. When present, the Lp(a)-band was detected between prebeta- and alpha-bands. This extra-band lipoprotein has been demonstrated to be Lp(a), by an immunofixation technique using...
